Just watched an artical on the news about people whinging how they can't water their gardens and I was wondering who else in the world has water restrictions?
Practically everywhere in Australia has water restrictions at the moment as we head into summer... coz we've used up all the water we captured from last summer (or our rainy season).
So restrictions vary from town to town, but at the moment they mainly only encompass hours that you're allowed to use a sprinkler:
I put the photo in, just incase you guys call it something else.
When it gets more serious they say you can't wash your car with a hose... or more serious is when you can't wash it at all. We have sprinkler patrols that drive around and hunt people down who do the wrong things.
But what annoys me is that people have a need to water their gardens.
We live in a desert here in Australia, although sometimes people forget it. We don't get enough rain. Our dams are at 30% all over the place. and yet people still have a need to water their gardens.... their grass. What's the point? It's just a garden. No one cares about it... seriously. It seems like such a waste of such a precious resource.
Don't people realise what will happen if we run out of water?
*rant over*
sorry if you're an avid gardener and I've offended you
